Range on hud stuck a 25 yards

[Hnybear]

I'm having an issue with the most current Dev 5.03.11 and the range check on the HUD. It works as expected for 25 yards or less, however if I click a mob or player and go over 25 yards it tells me I'm 25 yards away no matter how far I get. I am running a first time install of the addon.

Also are there any plans to eventually allow us to choose % or #### for health and mana ammounts on bar? I don't mind seeing % at the end but not being able to see the actual #### value can be a problem. I have temporarily edited the files per the other post in this forum to change pct_power to cur_power.

hmm it appears to only be happening on my Huntard. My other toons are working fine with it.

Ah maybe there is a slash command to set the values and you forgot to set them on your hunter.

I didn't see any.

The range check is based on the spells your character knows and their respective min and max ranges. There is no way to determine the actual range to a target and that is by design on Blizzard's part... they don't want mods to be able to explicitly determine range.

nUI gets around this by evaluating your list of spells against the target and using their minimum and maximum ranges to approximate how far away the target is. If the spell is usable, the target has to be somewhere between the min and max... so figure out the highest usable min and the lowest usable max and that's the best guess as to the range to target.

If you don't have a usable spell with a range greater than 25 yards in your spell book (usable on the current target) then all nUI can say is that the target is at least 25 yards away.

ok that makes sense, I'll check it out a little later when I get online to make sure this is the case.
